Earlier I read a lament that Republicans have no legislative agenda — which is true, but shouldn’t be misread to mean they have no *partisan* agenda.

They want impunity for themselves, and unfettered oligarchy for the economy. They wreck government from the inside to further those goals.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations

A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Statistically (EPA per drive), that's the worst defensive performance by the Eagles since Vic Fangio became their defensive coordinator.

10 possessions: gave up 5 TDs and did not force a turnover.

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

He's a big pal of the Tates.

X post with picture of Ingrassia and Andrew Tate in which Ingrassia writes:

Andrew Tate is an extraordinary human being – not only in terms of sheer physical prowess, though he is that in spades, but perhaps even more impressively, he is sharp as a tack and has the willpower and spirit to match.

It goes on---

It is for this reason that he and his brother have become public enemies number one and two in the eyes of the Matrix, the deep state, and the satanic elite that attempt to systematically program and oppress all men from womb-to-tomb – a form of communism that not even Karl Marx, in his wildest dreams, could have imagined.

It is because he and
@TateTheTalisman
pose such a threat that the global elites have targeted and attempted to scapegoat them: the global elites want to kowtow any man of honor and worth whose spirit has not been completely extinguished into silence.

The
@McBrideLawNYC
legal team is working around the clock to obliterate the Matrix narrative about the Tate brothers as human traffickers and shine the light of truth on them for the world.

We will prevail, because we have the truth on our side – and the truth will always set the world free from the shackles of deception.

The Tate brothers provide an opportunity for a better future – one that inspires, rather than degrades, men: and one that can offer a dying West some hope for renewal, if only we reject the Matrix’s lies and heed their call to strive for greatness.

I think we might have had an idea cocaine would be the drug of the late 70s when this album (the official soundtrack to the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Games) was released. Absolute lunacy. Maybe the double meaning of the title should have clued people in.

I remarked a couple days ago about Darwyn Cooke writing through a crystal ball. There are many beats in New Frontier that unfortunately remain starkly relevant today.

Veterans, people needing health care, families with hungry children, dedicated civil servants: no such luck, if you want to be bailed out try being a hedge fund manager connected a feral-looking Argentinian libertarian lunatic next time.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The U.S. just bailed out Argentina, Treasury Secretary confirms

The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.
